LU OVER THE WALL

A joyously hallucinogenic but family-friendly take on the classic fairy tale about a little mermaid who comes ashore to join a middle-school rock band and propel them to fame. A feel-good story of how misunderstanding can lead to conflict and prejudice, and how these can be overcome by the power of friendship and family.

Young Kai is a gloomy and quiet boy
trying to cope with his parent’s separation while adapting to a new life in his
father’s hometown, a sleepy fishing village. His only joy is uploading songs he writes
to the internet. When his classmates invite him to play keyboard in their band,
their practice sessions bring an unexpected guest: Lu, a young mermaid whose
fins turn to feet when she hears the beats, and whose singing causes humans to
compulsively dance – whether they want to or not. Though
Kai and his bandmates attempt to keep Lu’s presence a secret, she is soon
discovered by the rest of the town, and age-old animosities begin to manifest
themselves. (Japan, 2018, 107 min., NR, English| Dir. Masaaki Yuasa)
